10 - 12 fresh herring

3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 1/4 teaspoons lemon juice

Olive or sunflower oil

Juice from 1/2 lemon

Salt to taste

Pepper to taste
 

1. Make four or five deep diagonal slashes on the side of each fish and spread the mustard into them, using a knife. Season the fish with salt and pepper and brush with lemon juice and oil.

2. Place the fish on grill plate and grill at medium to high heat for around six minutes a side, turning once.

3. The fish are ready to eat when they are cooked through to the bone and their skin is crisp. Serve with crusty brown bread and plenty of butter.

Serves four generously.
